History

Established in 2000.

Terecita Dean and her staff have a commitment to give back to the community. Our practice has a long history of successful corporate responsibility. Our commitment is developed organically from the practice’s core mission, and implemented through meaningful partnerships with Kids On the Move America (KOTMA). KOTMA is a non-​profit youth impact project that develops, evaluates and disseminates programs that support health, social and intellectual development in low-​income children in Alameda County. Kids from different social economic background lack opportunities, motivation, wellness, nutritional information, cognitive skills, responsibility and effective communication between home, school and the community.

Their disconnect from productive environments fosters obesity and diabetes, auto-​immune disease, poor dental health, poor sleep cycles and increased potential for a harmful lifestyle. The time is now to respond. Join us in our mission to improve the lives of these children.
